Recently, I was accused of using artificial intelligence to write my work — more specifically, that my writing was created with the assistance of AI.

Writing has always been something I take great pride in. Throughout high school, I received academic recognition for my writing abilities and dedication to the craft.

Fanfiction and creative writing have also always been an important part of my life, as I know they are for many others in this community.

I understand that technology has advanced significantly, and some creators choose to use AI as part of their writing process. Personally, I am not one of them, nor will I ever be. I will always remain an anti-AI creator and strongly value authenticity within creative spaces.

False accusations like these can be incredibly damaging — not only to a creator’s platform, but also to their credibility, reputation, and confidence as a writer. I stand by my work completely and will continue creating content that is entirely my own.

AI generated content has become so normalized online that it’s starting to replace the value of real human creativity.

Art, writing, music, and fan works come from lived experiences, emotions, practice, and passion — things a machine cannot genuinely feel or understand.

Many AI programs are trained on the work of actual artists and writers without consent, often copying styles and ideas from people who spent years developing their craft.

Supporting ‘ human-made’ content matters because creativity is more than just producing something quickly; it’s about connection, individuality, and the effort behind it.

Creative spaces should continue encouraging real people to learn, improve, and express themselves instead of rewarding shortcuts that remove the human element from art.

TMNT BAYVERSE’s ✨TOXIC TRAITS✨

=====💙=====

LEONARDO

he can be controlling and overly authoritative.

he tends to assume he knows what’s best for everyone.

sometimes he expects obedience instead of discussion.

he has trouble admitting when he’s wrong.

he can become emotionally distant because he thinks a leader should always be strong.

when he’s worried, he may start micromanaging everyone around him.

Yup got a list of em

Yaroslav: Chess, tennis, golfing, reading, and oddly enough crafting miniatures. He used to make realistic furniture for his daughter's dollhouses and at lesser times toy cars and toy fish for his son. He taught the two how to play chess, with his daughter being the closest person to beat him. He also has a huge collection of ships in bottles that he crafted himself and has a lot of pride for. Yknow, these damn things

They're all sitting on shelves at the beach house in his study room (until his son broke into the house post-banishment and wrecked his belongings). He's irritatingly talented at all of his hobbies and any new ones he pick up.

Verochka: Baking and cooking, she loves making tasty surprises for the people she loves. Merfolk view cooking differently than humans in the sense that it is not treated like a necessary life skill to have and treated more like a leisurely activity (because well, they don't cook underwater. That's not a thing for merfolk). It's also something she looks back at fondly because Yaroslav introduced her to these activities when they first started dating. She didn't visit the surface often in her childhood due to her focus being more on her family's farm, until Yaroslav took her to dates up there.

She also likes making jewelry. As a child she used broken pieces of seashells scattered around her farm to make necklaces and bracelets for herself. Now she has much more expensive material to work with. She makes jewelry for the family and sells them to others

Kapka: A lot of her hobbies were picked up by her father because she grew up doing them together with him. She loves to read, is fantastic at chess, and crafts miniatures. She likes to make replicas of the animals she admires and hang em up on her wall. She used to watch her dad make the dollhouse furniture for her and paint with him, brings her happy memories

The only hobbies she has that doesn't involve her father is her care of her pets. In fact, that's more of Verochka's department. One of the few times she has the chance to bond with her daughter is when she teached her animal husbandry from her experience growing up in her farm.

Typically the servants are supposed to maintain the pets, but Kapka insists them to let her do it herself. She has many different pets scattered throughout the palace, including but not limited to her giant spider crab, her two barracudas, her nurse sharks, mantis shrimp, and various of reef fish that live in the anemone garden outside. Its her favorite spot to read and relax at. She loves her clownfish. She also writes sometimes, either in her journal about her nature findings or her diary
